Call for Open Innovation

Undergraduate students of IITs can be assigned challenging research projects at an
early stage so that they can complete the work by the time they graduate.
As a result some projects may culminate into complete product.
We must restore the pride and prestige of
Science and scientists in our nation; revive the
romance for science in society, rekindle the love
for it in our children; and, encourage our scientists
to dream, imagine and explore
